Little Mary McElroy 5 year old colored child criminally assaulted by white man When Miss Harriett Mulligan stepped out of her home at 1617 W. Magazine for a few minutes last Monday morning she left her little niece Mary McElroy, age 5, in the front yard in the swing, not want to leave her in the house with the white men who were there paper hanging. On her return, however, she did not find the child in the swing but in the house in her bed room where she had been carried and brutally and heartlessly assaulted by one of the painters who was met by Miss Mulligan when she entred. The chid was in a serious condition when found by her aunt, and was carried to the City Hospital. The crime is one of the most revolting in the history of the city and created a great deal of excitement in the community where it was committed. Only the coolness and self control of the Aunt and her brother saved trouble and perhaps secured the culprit against rough handling. Miss Mulligan showed rare presence of mind in that she raised no out cry on her discover of theoutrage, but took the little girl with her to the nearest telephone and called the police. She in the meantime notified her brother who on his way to the house met the white man who committed the crime leaving the place. Mulligan in coolness seldom exemplified held this brute in conversation until the patrol arrived. The doctor who examined little Mary McElroy has made a statement to the Chief of Police. The case comes up Friday morning as we go to press.
NOTE: Not a single daily newspaper has carried a single word about this terrible outrage committed against this innocent little Negro child by this white man. The public knows what might have happened had the case been reversed, the child white and the man who assaulted her colored, and the public knows that also in the case there would have been no possibility of keeping the report out of the daily papers. The reporters must, of course have had knowledge of the assault, from the excitement creatd, and a record must have been made in the Police Court and at the City Hospital.
The public can see the injustice of such a cause on the part of the newspapers. All such crimes committed or reported committed by colored men are heralded abroad thru the [press?] and the impression is made that negro men are the only rapists in the country, while assaults on colored women and children by white men although common in the south as many of us know, ar hushed up, never getting the slightest publicity.
We maintain that as a matter of protection to society and warning to the criminally inclined, such crimes as this committed against little Mary McElroy [illegible] against childhood and womanhood whether white or black should receive due consideration and publicity b ythe press.
Himbrew, the attempt rapist, is bound over.
It developed in the Police Court yesterday that Louis Himbrew, the name of the man who attacked little Mary McElroy, failed to accomplish his purpose, but hade a deliberate attempt. Judge Daily held him over to the grand jury with a bond of $2,000. Lawyer N.M. Willis brilliantly represented the Mulligans in the prosecution.
